7 Ways Magnesium Oil Can Improve Your Mental and Physical Health ...

I first learned about the benefits of magnesium oil from a sales associate at the health food store. I later did some research and learned that magnesium oil is not technically an oil, but rather it is magnesium chloride that you can apply to your skin. By applying it to your skin, the magnesium is absorbed and directly enters the bloodstream, which means you get all of the benefits of magnesium without having to worry about whether or not it is being absorbed in your gastrointestinal tract. After learning these things, I thought it would be worth trying, and, not only did it help ease the pain of an injury, I also experienced many of the other benefits of magnesium oil has to offer.

1. Relaxes Muscles

One of the benefits of magnesium oil is that it relaxes tight muscles. Magnesium has the ability to ease muscle tension, and when you rub it directly on tight muscle, you get the benefit much more quickly. While it doesn’t work immediately, it does ease tension in a few hours, and with continued use, your tight muscles will begin to actually feel relaxed.
